Unfortunately, this match will be remembered for the bizarre manner in which it finished. Asuka and James, who have only fought once before in NXT, were facing each other for the first time on the main roster. The two had a decent back and forth both stars matching each other move for move.
James gave Asuka a run for her money, but she was forced to tap out and fell short in her bid to capture the NXT Women's title for the first time. With many of NXT's top women getting called up to the main roster as part of the brand split, it seemed as though there was nobody left to step up and challenge Asuka. That changed when NXT general manager William Regal shockingly announced that one of the most decorated women in WWE history was returning to go after Asuka and the title. The year-old James hadn't been seen in a WWE ring since , as she went on to enjoy a great deal of success in TNA after her release from the company. James faced many of the greatest female competitors in WWE history, including Trish Stratus in a feud that is still heralded as one of the top women's programs to ever take place in WWE.
EXCLUSIVE: Mickie James explains what really happened with worrying finish against Asuka on RAW
News Corp is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services. The six-time world champion just challenged off for the title once more on the past episode of RAW, but she came up short against Asuka following a confusing finish. Fans worried that James was hurt and that forced the match to end or the ref simply made an error and thought she tapped. I rolled back to count — one, two — there was no count.
